getthegat Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 So my main perm will be sewing buck wheat this coming week, weather permitting, I'm not hopeful as the farm has some pretty up to date machinery, not good for spillages, this is a new one for me and wondering if anyone has any experience of said sewn seed, do woodies and corvid like it, or will it be a non starter. Not had a decoying day since last autumn, just a couple of roosting hours, nothing on the sewn wheat or beans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 I have been shooting over this the last week. Well drilled but wet in places. Birds (blacks) were loving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getthegat Posted May 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Following on from sewn buckwheat, does anyone know if pigeon and corvids go for the young germinated seedlings. I tried the sewn fields last Saturday, had one pigeon and a few blacks. Great to be out in the fresh air, but very few birds around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
